If it weren’t because of the noisy cafeteria TOP wouldn’t be dragging himself towards SJU’s only coffee shop in the campus. Technically speaking its the place he wanted to spend his time alone, the ambiance was perfect and so condusive for students where they can relax and study. The downside was like far from their school building and dormitories, just felt like the board’s plan was for students’ to be discourage of going there—like he was.

“Why not join me in the library then?” DongHae asked him earlier while they were met in the hallway.

TOP shook his head. “You know I’ll end up sleeping in the library like I usually do.”

DongHae scratched head and chuckled. “Oh yeah, I forgot.”

So here he was walking towards Coffee Myxx clutching the handle of his laptop’s case as he slung his other bag securely on his shoulder. It took him almost twenty minutes before he found it and smiled. “At last.”

His smile turned to frown as he noticed that the location wasn’t discouraging atleast half of the SJU population looking at the number of students in the shop.

Sandara was bobbing her head to the song when she heard students gushing about something. It was then she realized it was TOP who was now walking towards her. “What the?”

[…All my life
I have dreamed of this
But I could not see your face
don’t ask why to such distant stars
Can fall right into place …]

What the?

Sandara placed her hand on her chest as it was beating faster and faster.

Why is my heart beating so fast? How can I be feeling this—this way? She glanced over her coffee and shook her head. Maybe I was drinking coffee too much—way too much.

“Excuse me–” Her heart stopped. His voice, his eyes…it stirred alienish emotions from within.

She pulled her earphones off her ears with shaky hands and gave a faint smile at TOP.

Freak! Did I just smiled at him? Get of your freaking self, Sandy.

“Do you mind?” He was pointing at the empty chair beside her.

Oh man! She looked around and realized that her table was the only one who has a vacant seat. No choice, girl. “No.”

She put the earphones back on. Mentally checking herself not to act like Tiffany or HyoYeon…

[…Oh, it doesn't take a genius
to know what these are symptoms of
We could be …ohh
We could be, we could be in love…]
